international news. from. israel is under pressure from the un to open up to the world. even exists in an overwhelming vote the general assembly approved a resolution urging the country to allow inspections of its atomic facilities. reports. this one in the past has never opened its facilities in fact the israeli government has never gone on record publicly stating that it has nuclear capability they will sponsor is always been no comment but of course it is widely assumed and widely understood that israel has a nuclear program particularly in the south of the country in dimona what we're hearing now is a resolution that has been overwhelmingly passed by the united nations general assembly and this calls on israel to quickly open its nuclear facilities to international and inspectors from the international atomic energy agency the resolution was passed with one hundred seventy four in favor six against and six
1:02 pm
abstentions and essentially it's calling on israel to join the non proliferation nuclear treaty not as all get it off all countries who do have nuclear arms but who are not recognized by the nonproliferation proliferation treaty these resolutions of the united nations are not legally binding but they are important because they reflect world opinion and they certainly carry political weight so this is something that will make television sit up and take notice what we've witnessed ever since the palestinians went to the united nations last week and were recognized with increased status is a strong reaction from the israeli government the israeli prime minister netanyahu or not that he was approving some three thousand new homes essentially in an area known as the one which is in these two men the west bank and it does mean that these two areas will be cut off from each other the international criticism came harsh and came quickly we're not hearing that australia is the latest country to
1:03 pm
summon its ambassador to talk to him over this latest israeli move this doesn't follow the announcements by far and some bush and sweden that they were considering recording of their how best it is over this announcement from tel aviv we've since who are from paris that they are not going to record their own basket or but that the issue is still on the table and to quote the french ministry all options are available britain has also said that it's waiting to see how. talks will go before the plan says this issue but certainly there has been a lot of international condemnation it hasn't as of yet been any official israeli reaction to it israelis on the ground many believe that this was a bind a time yahoo the head of genuine parliamentary elections to try and curry favor and . within the domestic market. iran claims to have captured an american drone in its airspace these scan eagle aircraft was apparently conducting reconnaissance flight when it was seized but the u.s. naval forces responded saying all of the unmanned planes are accounted for
1:04 pm
university professor side mohammad marandi says that washington is responsible for heightening tensions the united states is that we hate being in a very hostile manner towards iran the very fact that drones are cards and they going open iranian airspace the americans are carrying out. psychological warfare against iran and they've shut down the iranian central bank and preventing iran from even importing medicine some people have died because of a shortage of medicine in iran because of the sanctions that the u.n. the united states have imposed on the country that hurt them more than anyone else because it shows how aggressive western countries are behaving this heightened tensions because this forces iran to behave more aggressively towards the united states and its allies because it sees such actions potential only reason why american drones could be in iranian airspace is for them to carry out surveillance operations against iranian targets. and we just learned that nato foreign ministers
1:05 pm
have approved the deployment of patriot missiles in turkey and had also its alliance partners for the weapons off the several deadly cross border far incidents with syria ortiz the telling of it is that the nato headquarters with the latest. russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says the circuit is seriously overestimating threats coming from the syrian border that's every time information appears in the media that syria is relocating its chemical weapons and is ready to use them against rebels russia double checks that information and every time receives reassurances that this is not the case and present bashar assad has said to himself many times that he's not planning such a scenario for his country chemical weapons will not be used however the secretary general of nato rasmussen says that even if this is the case even if series not intending to use chemical weapons against its own people still nato has the right to protect its ally turkey from any potential the threats that's becoming from the
1:06 pm
syrian border russian president vladimir putin visit to istanbul on monday where he said that's once again russia doesn't support bashar al assad or his regime but putting pressure on just one side of the conflict is not going to resolve it and it's a biased solution and sending patriots suits turkey is going to do exactly that is going to put pressure on president bashar al assad and not all the opposition groups in syria and what needs to be done really is all sides of the conflict should be. added negotiation table and discuss the future of the country without international interferences. inside syria state media reports that a rebel mortar attack on a school in the damascus suburbs killed twenty nine students and a teacher is the latest incident of collateral damage in the conflict that has allegedly claimed hundreds of lives in the past few days alone the syrian government maintains it's fighting terrorists armed and controlled from abroad well
1:07 pm
let's get some reaction now from asia times correspondent escobar joins me live now from. brazil welcome to expect condemnation from nato nations for this latest alleged atrocities by the rebels they're obviously very quick to condemn anything that they see and has been committed by a sad. no there won't be any condemnation it's it's a one sided war of course everything that evil but sheryl's of government does it need as you call it that not significantly from the opposition or. extremely dodgy groups that comprise that was issued by the way revamped as a new syrian national council by orders of hillary clinton in both the two weeks ago and now we have the new you there who never shows up anywhere. keep up the team is the former head of the leader of my at mos human of the almighty had lost in the mosque and he's seeing some other sense that facebook is the us he's really lost to
1:08 pm
destabilize islam so this who is in that case now is the leader of the syrian opposition and every massacre that happens anywhere in or to the suburbs of damascus and we know these are people there who treated by islamist gangs a lot and sometimes these are protected by the islamist gangs themselves supported by saudi arabia so by cats or logistical support by thirty buying weapons in the black market in the in the middle east and as far as ukraine as we already or i mean let's talk about jackie quickly you've just mentioned turkey it's just been announced that the deployment of those patriot missiles will go ahead now turkey civilians have been killed by syrian shells and of course has a right to protect itself doesn't it but some are saying that perhaps it is overestimating the threat is there on another agenda here another intention by turkey of course there is that we have to analyze the picture of missiles at the border with that latest hype by the usual ear and name u.s.
1:09 pm
officials of chemical weapons mean that what about it ourselves are. absurd. death hike you say that directly mixing the components this is completely ridiculous the components are missed or are mixed when you walk when you already have a weapon already loaded with this components which are kept separate and then the chemical reaction itself happens inside a missile after it has being wrong so nobody is mixing any sink at them with their meat what we need to speculate but with a certain degree of reason is that the moving some of these chemical weapons so they won't be captured by some of this is well missed gangs in fact but you know i used to wonder that saying petro missiles will be yours that bad it with of course the observation that there is a threat of chemical weapons or how effective would they be even russia has said that the patriot missiles are not exactly high end technology yet you already
1:10 pm
answered your question you fact because patriot missiles are what are you going to do with missiles bomb the syrian countryside bombed the suburbs of damascus bow a little which is already a house destroyed because of this islam is gagged by the way it destroyed the mosque you know it well and eighty percent of the eligible bus stop or right so what is that reason then behind nato is now in sorry. intimidation just like you know yesterday when obama said so but iraqi going directly to the bashar al assad government our red lines the chemical weapons it's intermediation because they know that even a desperate assad double would he never used chemical weapons because the response would be overwhelming so you sink your client patriot missiles at the border it's intimidation to say look if we had was three bullets crossing the border in the next few days we're going to start by being intimidation and not not to terror
1:11 pm
because nato said look this would be used as a deterrent and russia saying this would actually escalate the conflict but it's throughout without taking sides the russians the rats are in the ideological position that it's not at beach or a missile is an attack weapon it's not a deterrent arrow at all especially considering that this you know that this syrian army would never launch missiles across the border against their kids because the know they will be attacking our nato allies so while there is missiles going across the border then into turkey. this is this story hasn't been explained fully if a white shoe months after the fact that these were extremely high or crackers sort of that let it all the other side if they could have been launched by anybody including some of this is not missed there was no either bandits there if occasion or investigation or who shot this missiles two months after the fact that we
1:12 pm
quickly ask a foreign power do they really now need to intervene officially in syria it seems that the rebels are actually gaining an upper hand and weaving towards damascus is assad our side stays number if you need the upper hand in the countryside this sunni islam countryside i would say forty to fifty percent of it is laura less called stalled or at least you know it's destabilized by different factions of syrian armed. groups so-called free syrian army sort of close the free syrian army they don't have any support in the big centers even though it will which was partly destroyed and always leave not in the mosque maybe cultural so some groups of them are just as good they will never control the seat of power which is the mosque itself happened almost this we haven't really a situation that go on for years it's really interesting here your point of view thanks a lot for joining us live from brazil asia times correspondent pepe escobar. to
1:13 pm
egypt now and egypt's president mohamed morsi has fled his car upon us to protest has attempted to raid it injuries have been reported with rob police resorting to tear gas to control an angry crowds now protesters are outraged at the president seizure of extra power we got to live pictures coming to you from caro there from tahrir square that campaigning against the new draft constitution which had been drawn up by an islamist led panel with the backing of the media. a number of the gypsy newspapers refused to publish that tuesday edition is in pro . journalists are denouncing the draft because they're concerned about potential restrictions on freedom of expression well right now we're joined live on the phone by caro based journalist bill true is the president's palace and we're just seeing what the press was saying to their readers today there in egypt well you're on the line can you hear me there. for i what's happening where you are. coming from the same lines that i'm always going around the current crisis in front of the
1:14 pm
presidential. contest but we still. can products. where exactly it came from. whether it came from the clinton sorry the current products anyway at one point that probably be what they want to join the protests. around the crowd which would obviously quite shocking steiner's the police are usually on the side of the president that really means we have got to see but at the moment people are still trying to get a president trying to get the constitution and his power grab and i think actually at this point much like john you're. going to have been knocking him can leave don't come out very well what do you know what the situation is because we've heard the has actually left his residence do you have any indication of just how much danger he was in can you confirm that he has left and where is he going to go if he
1:15 pm
has gone. i mean i was standing outside the palace and we were. meeting with the president left out here to the pool i actually you know because i'm not coming out of like i want to compete i'm not i don't think could be protected by any means we're trying to. film the politics not the great pretty violent you have to target it and it's very you know wild duck and i'm angry but you don't count the people there and i didn't see them storming. in a violent manner. maybe that will happen later on this evening but at the moment you know they're thanking the president promised they are chanting against the president but it's you know they come to see him. give us an idea. we clearly see a lot of angry protesters that are in tahrir square just. approaching the palace what about the supporters of morsi himself the pro-government forces still very strong
1:16 pm
isn't it how has reacted to the events. i mean really there is a strong support base for the president i mean we could get but he. they have many members across egypt we called it on saturday in march. in cairo in alexandria and other made to keep across the country you don't have a power base that you are very loyal to him and of course the road to the muslim brotherhood basically what we've seen is actually counter protest i mean so we've got opposition protests in the next day the supporters of the president will protest and what usually happens if they stop bloodshed because as we know we have seen but it seems to be encroaching brotherhood supporters and resulting into what we've seen in the principle of mostly moving protest. cation to stop making one stop today we had running the front of the cairo university thanks very much indeed we have to get you invision in the next live from. talk to
1:17 pm
square in car in the meantime thanks very much to bill true let's get more perspective on the developments in cairo now from human rights activists she told me. join me live there from the city protest not receding shima where do you think this leaves egypt's political future. will since the uprising started have been seen. through. when the military council was in power before the elections after the elections so i think this is what we're going to continue to see from now on for some time now it's hard to predict what's going to happen and it will continue . to be angry about what what the government is doing so from your perspective how do you see that this is the revolution continuing some are saying that the morsi has started another revolution and he is saying he's protecting the revolution or is it just going in full circle now well i think that in
1:18 pm
two years you can see that we have had their pollution and finished it. at the moment the opposition can includes revolutionaries who are not satisfied with the muslim brotherhood in addition to take revolutionaries who are also against the muslim brotherhood. so i don't want to call this the second wave of the of lucian or a second revolution it's it's you continue it's you two well we have started already back in generate your father's letter you're saying there's unhappiness with the muslim brotherhood just how religious base is this becoming now sectarian based how big are the tensions obviously there have been very very intense problems on a sectarian basis but is this reaganite in the problems again no. well i think that we have reached. a sad state of polarization between different factions you there are lots of islamists who are also causing the muslim brotherhood and what they're
1:19 pm
doing in addition to the liberals and leftists. so you're saying is i mean functions or elements of society involved in those protests that we're seeing well yes to some degree i can say this but still it's not the opinion of the general population. we had all sucrose to scumming to support morsi is decreed in different parts of the of the country in addition to the protests that are opposing him for so many factions and involved in these protests does that mean that there could be some sort of coherent united force is there a chance that the opposition could actually overthrow morsi i don't think so i don't think it's going to be easy to think about this option especially after four months only elfie looked in him even if the opposition some of the opposition are thinking about overthrowing him i do think that the general population that seems to want more stability and economic instability and want to end it's the police are
1:20 pm
going to words in other words a sentiment a feeling that they should actually give more c. more time. well i think it's more realistic to speak about this if the overthrew him now do we do have to go through another circle of elections again in like four months i do think that the majority of people would like to go with this option do you think he was right he was concerned that the judiciary could possibly derail the pathway the transition to democracy in that you have to make this very strong decree for the sake of the country do you think many egyptians do accept that this is something he had to do i think some people are simplifying with this position given the current situation. where there was this huge issue a system that was being corrupted as well and it's it's it's a kind of a hard situation if with that was morsi or any other candidates. this confusion it started with the military council taking over in the constitutional declaration
1:21 pm
that came afterwards for doing work so it's a nice in so i think it's a built up to what we have been going through since the initial uprising in generally to your human rights activists what are you worried about now in present day egypt how different are things since mubarak went are you still campaigning avidly there are still major concerns that happening in egypt well i from the beginning of their present i was concerned with the military trials for civilians and they detentions and abuse and torture cases that activist activists in winter through from the beginning of the uprising and children essentially underwrites little i think that. it has the situation has not changed that much for me something is have to change of course but it's not what we have been expecting just very briefly some people saying this is a crucial moment in egypt's history how do you see this moment now do you have
1:22 pm
a sense of optimism that things will get better just brief with well i think it's just one more fees of the. in going up police asked him why and we cannot decide from now we still have to wait and figure out if this is going to be a historical moment or not or i thank you very much indeed she may help me thanks for joining us it's such short notice live there in cairo thanks thank you mrs arty life here in moscow with the twenty four hours a day still to come this hour british big brother a new bill designed to tackle crime triggers massive integration of online privacy violations that's just ahead stay with us live this is altie most good. wages used to just what their name implies they get between people and drive them
1:23 pm
apart like a wage and these issues seem to always take the forefront in the media things like abortion gun rights marijuana legalization and the weather well the weather isn't really a west crash people sure talk about it way too much there's only so much room with the national discourse and the switch issues just eat up all the time and attention but the thing is that there's a little something called the tenth amendment you know the one that says that any powers that are specifically delegated the federal government are reserved for the states and last time i checked the constitution doesn't have a special weed clause saying that marijuana has to be an all or nothing a national proposal and that goes for abortion and most of the wedge issues also there's a simple answer all these wedge issues just left the states make up their own minds but then again without wages shoes what would the mainstream media have to distract us with but that's just my opinion.
1:24 pm
me it is easy peasy. it seems such. since. led mission and free accreditation privileges for a chargers free range of members free. free stereotype privilege free blog just plug in video for your media projects a free media oh god r.t. dot com i've. i've
1:25 pm
. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought. i'm tom harpur welcome to the big picture. with. technology innovation called the list of elements from around russia
1:26 pm
we've. covered. if you just join us overwhelm welcomes the live here in britain the new bill designed to tackle crime by using information stored in cyberspace is already being branded a violation of privacy let's get more now because she's in london. explain to us how is this law supposed to work. well the way it would work if paused is that the police and security services would have unbridled access to your internet data by obliging mobile phone service providers and internet providers to store that internet history your data for yeah now the government say that it's a necessary move in order to safeguard the public and to fight crime that's being organized through the internet increasingly such as it extremism and paedophile rings but civil liberties groups are up in arms about it they say it's an in
1:27 pm
infringement of your civil rights they've called it the snoopers charter and we hit the streets of london a little bit earlier to talk to the general public about what they thought of the prospect of the government being able to snoop in on the e-mail history of their web browsing history and their social networking history let's take a listen to what they told us how would you feel about the police having access to internet search history not so good without my consent i think something like gave my consent i wouldn't mind because i consider it being used to help solve crimes i would still be exposed if my data was just what i'd been but she. seemed right code privacy and it just. would not be happy for i would mind but only if it was authorized by a magistrate on the very certain conditions i there was a reason for them to do in the first place i think the law is now i would like to
1:28 pm
be freely allowed to have. communication on the internet without any reason i think you have to have control of one area of your life or look them in one area they're just they have access to other areas so i don't know think those are freedoms that should remain governing. now the home secretary to resign may she's behind the draft bill and she's been lobbying it quite aggressively and some critics saying in rather a bizarre fashion actually she said in an interview with the sun today that criminals terrorists and paedophiles will want m.p.'s to vote against this bill whereas victims of crime police in the public will want them to vote for it and it's a question of whose side you're on now i've got nick pickles who is the director of civil liberties group big brother watch in the studio here with me now and then here's something to you on are all the people opposed to this legislation criminals terrorists and paedophiles as the home secretary suggests no it is politically
1:29 pm
ridiculous to say that everybody oppose this bill force in those categories there are people from every political party senior law enforcement officers technical experts about the internet even tim berners lee warning about this bill so i think it was a very crude argument and one that didn't help anybody from the home secretary but we've got interpol saying that cyber crime is now one of the fosters growing criminal activities on the planet i mean the government's right for looking for some sort of solution to this growing problem well in the big thing about this bill is if you're looking for a needle in a haystack you don't solve the problem but i think a lot more we should have a new powers but they should be used against individuals no operations what this bill proposes is that everybody in the country's behavior is monitored and we're all treated the suspects or they have it very quiet some virtual idea from the home office bill and one that might all go to down to well with the rest of the government we've got reports that deputy prime minister nick clegg.
